[QUOTE="Andrew Moreton, post: 7964292, member: 6920268"] This session we saw the players struggling very hard to protect King Aodhan from the massed forces of the Ob. Almost the entire session was consumed by the fight , , in total about 2 minutes of game time took most of two sessions. Fortunatly we enjoy complicated fights as long as they have some meaning, good job as I expect most of the next 2 sessions to be combat heavy. The fight started with the group heading towards the South West Lantern with Asraby, Kind Aodhan, Harkover, and Dame Jillian they noticed that to the South-East there were 2 squads of soldiers, a Golem and a horde of Wraiths. Guarding the SW Lantern was another force the same strength and more importantly the full strength force of the Elites. Romana, Professor Jon Bugge (Necromantic cleric Lich), Cula Rajanavi, a Storm Giant chieftan transformed into a wight and Proffessor Bugges PHD Students transformed into Wights, , evidence suggested than many of the wraiths were the undergraduates who had failed the professors applied Necromancy course. For pretty much the Wraiths and Wights achieved nothing the pc's had undeath ward spells up on Harkover and Nevla and not one of the Wights or Wraiths made their saving throws to break the wards. In the first round Cula turned invisible and circled around behind the group to attack, William channelled clerical power and damaged the wraith hordes before the group realised they posed little threat. The Giant charged in and smacked the King for a lot of damage before coming under attack from Asraby, Padme , and the King.. Romana then hit the king with a Suffocate spell and William with a Dominate spell both failed, but came close to being a disaster, Ulvar then retaliated with his own suffocation effect pulling all the air from Romana's lungs and incapicating her on 0 hp, she was then 'accidentally' shot several times by Amielle Latimer. Random fire from the infantry squads injured several people and cannon fire from the Gole, however ms hit the king leaving him badly injured. Harkover took out 2 squads with a blast from his breath weapon and also a Wraith squad the rest of the infantry ran off. Manuel Nock Gunned the Giant leaving it close to dead. In the second round Cula stabbed the King and critted him with a Shocking grasp, his protection from electical damage spell absorbed most of that but he was badly hurt, Ulvaar took out the Giant Wight, Padme, William, Harkover and Asraby attacked Cula hurting her, before the King used the Six Loa Saber to disarm her before retreating behind Harkover. The Professor hit the King with a Destruction spell and a quickened slay living leaving him really badly injured before the Golems shot him as well. Dame Jillian charged and attacked the professor. Round three Cula retreated from mellee and hit the king with three Gloomblind bolts killing him however Nevla stepped in with a Breath of Life spell bringing him up to positive hp then Ulvaar healed him and William dimension doored Harkover and the King back into the palace, Manuel shot the proffessor with a cannon and he was attacked by everyone else. Inside the Palace the Assasination squad was suprised when the King teleported into the room with them and they shot him 8 times with Human Bane revolvers killing him (At last!). I ended the fight there with Cula and the Professor fleeing into the Bleak gate while the party took the golems, wraiths, and other undead apart. The party briefly spoke with Latimer asking why she had helped them , she explained she had changed her mind about the Obs project over the years but told them not to tell her anything and emphasised they needed to stop Stansfield. Troops rushed into the palace as the Lanterns were destroyed lead by Price-Hill. All were saddened to see the King dead but following the Kings wishes Nevla was named his successor and the rest of the Constables Dukes of the Realm, Manuel being most definetly the first Goblin Duke of Risur. There was no time for either Celebrations or Mourning for the King. Instead a quick ceremony swore Hevla in as the throne. The group readied itself with magical weapons from the Royal armoutym and new technologies from Odd cog while checking reports from Gale by wind , and radio reports from the Battallion Academy and surviving units of the fleet by radio.

They sent out an urgent radio order for all fleet units to return to harbout to wait out her wrath or wait until Nevla could deal with her. We finished with the Queen and her companions riding for Flint to bring down Stansfield , then deal with She Who Writhes and gather the fleet for an attack in Axis island [/QUOTE]
